| Date | 08:54:58, January 23, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Presidential Term Extension Act |
| Message | 36 months may be too short to form a cabinet at times, but from personal experience it can be done even if several are rejected. Also, Presidents tend to serve multiple terms so the issue of creating a cabinet in the first term is less than urgent. |
| Date | 02:31:47, January 24, 2008 CET | From | Pariah Idealism | To | Debating the Presidential Term Extension Act |
| Message | We will agree with this bill, (The difference is 2 days, I'd be behind you if it's 2 weeks even) We agree completely. |
